They also released a longer gameplay trailer at the same time, which is an interesting way to do it I suppose. It's a game I definitely want to try out, as it does sound quite impressive. The ability to simply get out of your ship, walk around and climb aboard another ship and continue exploring sounds fun.

Egosoft are claiming it to be the "most dynamic X universe ever", with other races in the game free to build and expand, with a lot of the same options as players which should be interesting. It will offer multiple starting points with different characters, each with their own set of relationships, technology, ships and so on too.

The only current store they've confirmed is Steam. If they do manage to get a Linux build out, we will take a look for sure.

Looks really interesting, although a bit frightening — it has so many mechanics to digest. I never got into the X universe, tried X3 but it was pretty complicated and I didn't feel that typical AAA push from one goal to another. I know the game is deep but I just didn't know what to do and why. Hope this one won't forget about newcomers.

I tried to play X3: Reunion, and it was utterly unplayable due to a rolling bug that set my ship spinning unless I actively held it in place. It was reported to the devs by a number of people, but to the best of my knowledge never fixed.

Hopefully they're a little more responsive with this one.

Have LOT of hours in X3:r and never had this issue!

Think i'd be unplugging any game pads/sticks and seeing if it still happens
